Betrayed By Fate

Chapter 22 | Brother

"What do you mean by that?" his face clouded by confusion.

Now there is no way around it.

"Were my nighmares that bad that you had to stay by my side every night?" I asked directly.

He looked stunned at first, letting out a breathy chuckle he leaned on the headboard.

"And I though I could be your good knight who saves the night" he sighed.

"You scream and toss around, I tried to wake you up but that wouldn't work so I would stay until you calmed down, it was the only thing that seemed to work.."

"I want to ask you what are you dreaming of but I am afraid that I am the reason"

"it isn't your fault Jake..E.Ehm- "

"You can't tell me the reason yet..isn't that it?"

"Did I talk?" I asked, realising that I might have talked.

"You were screaming for someone to stop, you sounded like you wanted to desperately escape, to vanish" I didn't realise that he was still holding onto my wrist until he pulled me to him.

"Who is it?" His voice took a deep pitch, he looked me dead in the eyes, his darkening blue orbs not breaking the eye contact.

Did I forget to mention that we are still on the bed, ah and that he pulled me on him, now I am hovering over him trying to get off but seem to be glued by his grip.

I am starting to panick, Dahlia?

If you didn't notice I wasn't helping you at all this time. You did it all on your own.

What! Dahlia..I can't do this.

My body started to tremble, my face going pale, he let go of my wrist, I was about to pull away but he stopped me by entwining his arms around me pulling me into his chest.

I protested by trying to wriggle out of his embrace which didn't work.

My breath was ragged, I was panicking more and more for the second.

His head was buried in my hair "relax, I am not going to hurt you. There is no danger" he whispered soothingly.

My body became stiff in his hands, my mind racing with thousend thoughts.

He kept talking, patting my hair, I eventually relaxed in his embrace.

I feel tired.

Jake looked at me "Arian, I am sorry I lost control. I promise that it will not happen again...unless"

"Unless what?"

He gave me a cocky smirk which fit him Perfectly "Unless you want it" he winked.

"Since when are we so flirtatious Mr.Beta?" I yawned mockingly.

"Since I am working on winning your heart" his eyes staring dead serious into mine.

A deadly growl shaking the house, Jake looked alarmed around tightening his embrace.

"It came from downstairs, Jake. It sounded like Zaire"

"Let's go, I tried linking him but he blocked me out"

Jake went down the stairs to check the situation, he wouldn't let me go with him because it might be 'dangerous'. Pff

He gave me a sign that I can come down-

Ok, where is the door?

In the kitchen on the counter.

Oh, yeah I thought I imagined it.

The atmosphere was strained, Jenn was stiff in Zaire's iron grib, while he was breathing heavily trying to control his rage. Glaring at the figure in front of them who gladly returned the favour and glared at Zaire.

Jenn in the middle looked torn apart, scared but happy.

The was man shorter than Zaire but had a not less intimidating glare, dark blonde hair and green eyes-

-Wait! Isn't that!?

"Zaire, stop! He is my brother!" Zaire looked shocked between Jenn and her brother.

As shocked was I.

Her brother continued to glare holes at Zaire, who's grip is still around Jenn.

"I would appreciate it, if you would take your filthy hands off, of my little sister" he demanded lowly between gritted teeth.

"Eric, how did you find me?" Jenn asked softly, the tensions were high in the room.

"That doesn't matter now, what does is, why are you here?"

"I am his mate" she motioned at Zaire who had a triumphant smirk on.

"WHA-"

"Eric, stop it." My voice cold, his gaze snapped to me, wide green eyes, and a open mouth, his face was repainted with pure shock.

"Ari what are you doing here!! Lu-" I cut him off.

"Let's clear this situation with Jenn and Zaire first. questions later" Jake snaked an arm around my waist, glaring at Eric.

Now he has two males glaring at him to death.

Admit it, Jake looks sexy when he is Jealous.

She had a dirty wolfy grin, that I wish I could just punch it away.

Eric returned Zaire's glare with confused stare, his eyes stilled at Jake's arm around my waist.

"Your new lover? Since when were you one for relationships?" Eric asked.

I wish I could punch him to death right now.

"I am her mate" Jake gritted out, now both of his arms around my waist.

Eric face became red from laughing his guts out "...you haha are haha...mates? Good joke"

He wiped a fake tear from his eyes, Zaire, Jenn, and Jake looked at him weird.

He looked at them noticing their stares, all humor left Eric's face, he seriously looked at me "Are you serious?" Shock written all over his face.

"St..op Eric, not now" I hesitated, his face was so perplexed.

"Not now? Are you kidding me?! You found your f*cking mate!!"

"NOT NOW" I couldn't control myself and lost it.

"Fine." He gave in.

We went to the living room which thankfully had a door.

*************************

I took long to update, I am sorry but it was kinda hard to write a chapter, everything I wrote..didn't seem good enough.

I would write and stop read again and erase what I wrote.

A little writers block you could say but I think it is just because I had no Idea what to write to bring 'Eric' in the story.

2K!! I can't believe it, I wanted to update before I get 2k and boom wake up and seek that you beat me.

Thanks to all of you, and I am sorry if I will bring more cliffhangers in the story *evil smile* who doesn't love cliffhangers?

There will be a lot of mistakes so ignore them, because I am too lazy to go through the chapter ;)
